He reached up and touched his face, looking at the clear liquid on his fingertips, and couldn't help but get excited, "It's really raining?"

Not only him, but everyone else in the Xu family also felt the raindrops falling on them.

Old Xu's hands trembled. "Thank God, it's finally raining." His voice choked as he spoke, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Having farmed all his life, he knew the importance of rainwater; how could he not be excited?

At this time, many families were still busy in the fields. The rain made everyone more active, and some even knelt on the ground.

"God bless, God bless."

"Thank God, we have had good weather and a bountiful harvest this year."

"There's hope! This year's crops are saved!"

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and that was true back then.

"Genshan, you go home first. We'll go back after we finish this." The Xu family worked quickly and efficiently, and had almost finished tidying up the land in half a day.

Seeing that the rain wasn't too heavy, Grandma Xu wanted to finish cleaning it all at once and let the newly turned soil moisten.

Xu Genshan wasn't going to leave. "I'm not leaving. Let's all hurry up together," he said, picking up a hoe and starting to work.

Ma Hong also advised, "Brother, you should go back first. Your foot has only just healed, and you've been working all day. You should rest."

"I've rested at home long enough," Xu Genshan said sullenly, which stopped everyone from trying to persuade him. They were all thinking about how to hurry up and get back home sooner.

Liu Fang, who was busy at home, only realized it was raining when she heard the pitter-patter of raindrops outside. While she was happy, she also worried about the Xu family members who were away.

The wasteland we went to today was far away. Knowing my mother-in-law's personality, she won't come back until she finishes it. Looking at the dark sky, it looks like it's going to rain quite heavily.

We need to send raincoats and straw hats to everyone. Although we are looking forward to rain, if people get soaked, they might catch a cold.

"Yi'er, Mao'er, Xiaowen, Xiaowu." The children in the family were still playing wildly outside. Liu Fang stood on the stone bench and shouted a few times.

Before long, Xu Yi led Fu Man'er home, while his three younger brothers ran around outside excitedly.

Or perhaps it's that adults and children alike came out from their homes to experience the cleansing effect of the spring rain.

Just as I reached the door, I saw Liu Fang coming out with something in her hand. "Mom, are you going to deliver straw hats to Grandpa and Grandma?"

"Okay, go to your house." The raincoats at home were all made of palm leaves and were quite large; Liu Fang struggled to hold them in her arms.

Seeing this, Xu Yi quickly helped his mother hold up the straw hat and took it from her hands. "Mother, I'll go with you. The two of us will be faster."

Liu Fang was reluctant to let her son come with her, but as the sky grew darker and the drizzling raindrops turned into drops the size of soybeans.

“Okay, you wear the straw hat, let’s go.” It was indeed a bit difficult for her to carry five straw raincoats by herself, and since she didn’t have hands to hold the straw hats, she just hung them on her shoulders.

Xu Yi quickly put on the straw hat, the large brim covering his entire body.

"Brother, Mother," Fu Man'er called softly from the side.

Liu Fang was anxious at this moment and didn't bother to correct Fu Man'er's way of addressing her. She told the little girl, "Man'er, come inside quickly. Don't get wet in the rain. Your aunt and brother will be back soon."

"Go inside quickly." Xu Yi pushed open the door and pulled the person inside. "Go inside."

After saying that, he closed the courtyard gate and walked away quickly with Liu Fang, making a point of calling his three younger brothers home on the way.

Meanwhile, the Xu family members in the wasteland were also carrying hoes and heading back. The rain came suddenly, and the road became muddy after they had only taken a few steps.

"Big brother, slow down." To accommodate Xu Genshan, the second brother slowed down and followed behind him, but Xu Genshan was limping and never stopped walking, which made Xu Genzhu anxious.

My older brother's leg injury has only just healed; can he withstand this?

Xu Genzhu's legs had already started to ache, but he was still comforting his younger brother, "Hurry up, the rain is getting heavier."

The wasteland was on a small hillside, and the road down was narrow and steep, slippery on rainy days. The thing the Xu family feared most still happened.

Xu Genshan was so eager to get down that he tripped over his own feet.

"father"

"Genshan"

"Big Brother"

Just then, Liu Fang and her son walked over and saw Xu Yi stumble and fall down the ridge.

Xu Genzhu reacted quickly and managed to grab his older brother's leg to prevent him from falling. By the time Xu Yi and Liu Fang ran over, Xu Genshan had already been pulled up by everyone.

"Genshan, are you alright? Where did you fall?" Liu Fang put her raincoat on the ground and anxiously checked her husband for injuries.

Xu Genshan blocked her outstretched hand. "I'm fine, let's go." The fall jolted him out of his daze.

He glanced sideways at the edge of the field; if he fell, his leg would probably get injured again.

How useless I am, always causing trouble for my family.

"Genshan, it's raining. Put on your raincoat." Ever since Xu Genshan injured his leg, his temper has become strange, and Liu Fang doesn't dare to disobey him. Seeing him about to leave, she picked up the raincoat and tied it on for him.

The rest of the Xu family also put on their raincoats, even though their clothes were already quite wet, because the rain was going to continue.

This time, Xu Genshan stopped stubbornly walking ahead and stepped aside to make way for him. "Father, Mother, you go first. It's raining heavily, so you should walk faster and go back first."

Grandma Xu felt sorry for her son and refused to go forward. "Your father and I are old and frail. How fast can we go? You go first, and we'll follow you."

She can keep an eye on her son's every move from behind, and if he falls or something, she can help him up.

Old Xu didn't speak, but he didn't move either, clearly agreeing with his wife's statement.

This careful maintenance only made Xu Genshan more frustrated, and his anxiety was evident on his face.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you go first. I'll go with my dad. I have small steps and walk slowly, so I'm afraid I'll block your way."

Xu Yi spoke up, saying he didn't want everyone to get soaked in the rain because of this.

In the end, the Xu family still went ahead, and even Liu Fang was driven to the front, but she was worried and kept looking back.

Xu Yi followed at the back, watching his father stagger along, feeling a pang of sadness.

The rain started pouring down in an instant, and everyone outside went home to take shelter from the rain.

The three boys of the Xu family had already been called home. Xu Mao came out of the kitchen while coughing, looked around the yard, and found Fu Man'er squatting under the eaves playing with water in his hands.

"Man'er, stop playing in the water, come and take a look."
